Lewis Holtby has officially been loaned out by Tottenham Hotspur to Bundesliga side Hamburg SV on a year long deal.

The move comes as little surprise as rumors of this very deal surfaced last week and Holtby is too young and promising a player to bee spending the majority of his season on Mauricio Pochettino's bench. Holtby was loaned out to Fulham last January in an effort to help the Cottagers avoid relegation but had little impact as Felix Magath chose several times not to select the talented midfielder for a squad begging for talent. He should fair better in his home country this time around. Mon, Sep 1, 2014 12:47:00 PM

Holtby has never really settled at White Hart Lane and spent the final few months of the last campaign on loan to Fulham. The 23-year-old is determined to get regular first team football this season, but has so far failed to start in the league under Mauricio Pochettino, and with Spurs overloaded with midfield options it could be best for all parties if Holtby was allowed to return to Germany before the transfer window closes on Sunday.

Holtby has never settled at White Hart Lane and spent the final few months of the last campaign on loan to Fulham. The midfielder is determined to get regular first team football this season, but a move away will depend on whether he can impress Mauricio Pochettino during pre-season. The 23-year-old's fitness and work-rate should do him plenty of favours, with the new Spurs manager a big fan of imposing a pressing game on opponents, so there is still a chance Holtby will be included in Tottenham's plans.

Germany midfielder Lewis Holtby is hoping new head coach Mauricio's Pochettino’s style of play will see him back in the reckoning at Spurs

Holtby was loaned out to Fulham for the second half of the season after falling out of favour with Tim Sherwood, but hopes to reignite his Tottenham career under Pochettino. The incoming manager built his Southampton team around pressing the opposition high up the pitch, which requires fitness, stamina and enthusiasm – all qualities of the 23-year-old.
